Berlin Gigs & Inspirations

Arrived in Berlin this week after a road trip through the Brenner Pass from Italy, via München. From the dry hot peninsula to the sultry gritty end of summer northern city. On my first day in town I saw dachshund racing, had satay, caipirinha and a massage in thaipark, met a multilingual giant in a pub in Kreuzberg who had just won thousands of euros betting on the football and so must shout us rum, ate excellent african food and drank excellent bier with excellent people. Berlin, bless you.
First to propaganda:

This Wednesday 5th September The Poetic Groove at the KingKongKlub, Brunnenstrasse 173. From 10pm, poetry art and music with Robert Grant and Lady Gaby, songwriter Chris Glen from Aberdeen in the North-East of Scotland, Sean Hunter Williams (Berlin), and The Petty thefts (Berlin). With Lapkat filling your head in the breaks.

Lastly for today, I want to share some work of Gülbahar Kültür, German/Turkish music producer, author, radio producer, multi-talented artist based in Bremen. Her speciality is music from Iran through Turkey, Morocco. The album United Color of Wordsis a special collaborative project with Gülbahar working with many artists and producers, musicians around the world. Interpretations of her own poetry, with musical beds ranging from Electro-Tango, through Balkant beats, klezmer, dub, Anatolian rock, latin house, classical.

Arda Kalan features the voice of Hasan Tomuk with music by Kerem Ülken: very beautiful.
